Man Infuriated By Overdraft Fee Jailed After Threatening To Rob Bank.
A 40-year-old Pennsylvania man is in jail after threatening to rob his local Bank of America branch in revenge for an overdraft fee.
Francis Coleman, an unemployed machinist from Bethlehem, called his local TV station Wednesday night and told them he wanted a camera crew to film him robbing the bank.
“Tomorrow I’m gonna get my satisfaction. I’m gonna rob the place,” Coleman said, according to WFMZ producer Dan Rinkus. “Satisfaction is going to be had, one way or another.”
Coleman complained to Rinkus that Bank of America sold his information to what he called a “credit assistance agency,” which took money from his account, leading to overdraft fees. Rinkus said that in a matter-of-fact tone, Coleman gave the address of the branch he intended to rob at 11 a.m. the next morning, and volunteered that it was near his house.
Now Coleman is in jail on $75,000 bail, charged with making “terroristic threats.”
